Fizik Vento Antares R1 Adaptive Cycling Saddle

The Antares R1 Adaptive, part of a new generation of Antares saddles, maintains many iconic design features that have made the original saddle popular amongst leading athletes. First introduced over twenty years ago, the Antares saddle has been seen in nearly every Grand Tour since its inception. Now, with our innovative Adaptive padding, the Antares is set to make history once again.

Fizik's Adaptive 3D-printed padding has been added to the Antares family, creating the perfect match for riders seeking exceptional, long-lasting comfort on a low-profile performance saddle. This saddle is designed to provide a more connected feeling, promoting optimal pedaling efficiency and power transfer.

Thanks to the evolution of digital 3D printing technology, we have been able to develop a new saddle without the limitations imposed by traditional production methods and materials. The Adaptive saddle padding, crafted by Carbon using Digital Light Synthesis technology, offers tailored zonal cushioning for maximum comfort and support.

Through lab testing and road trials, biomechanics and engineers have collaborated to design and manufacture a saddle with multiple functional zones, each tuned separately for specific mechanical properties. These key functional zones are engineered for distinctive cushioning and mechanical response, seamlessly integrated in the same padding for a superior riding experience.

The Antares saddle features a low-profile design with a tapered transition from the nose to the wing, enabling riders to achieve efficient pedaling in any riding position. The 3D-printed padding delivers a responsive, race-ready feel that enhances the connection between rider and bike. By incorporating a softer central zone instead of a traditional cut-out, we are able to provide better pressure relief without compromising performance.
